INT. THE CUBE – MORNING
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbsnAqsx5G
A knock rattles the door early in the morning.
A practically sprints to open it, his face lit up with an excitement usually reserved for cartoons and new snack deliveries.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoU8rjNTQr
He swings the door wide.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhTFzs1tZ3
A (grinning)
"Good morning!!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaU4hPnn8G
Standing outside are Josh Anderson and Violet Solace, both carrying bags and looking very... surprised.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdTvXeka45
Josh blinks, his optics doing a little mechanical whirr as he takes in the tall, smiley bot who is definitely not Jason.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWETRHFuB0
JOSH (awkwardly clearing his throat)
"Uh... hi? Is Jason here?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA68TfkY8Oj
Before A can respond, Jason skids into view, still pulling a hoodie over his head and looking like he lost a fight with his own bed.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5HtWWT9jC
JASON (huffing)
"Yeah, yeah, I’m here. Long story—roommates."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSh4L0ZwhE
Josh raises a brow, but shrugs it off in classic Josh fashion—if it’s weird, it’s probably normal for Jason.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNB1gjzyo5
Violet, on the other hand, immediately grins like a shark spotting blood.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlDeFQLLzx
VIOLET (teasing)
"Roommates? What, you finally got sick of living with just your own depressing thoughts?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0FnhHwuAP
Jason rolls his eyes.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaFzHMymLq
JASON (grinning back)
"Yeah, figured I should diversify the mental illnesses around me."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzcNX4Kvka
They both laugh like it’s the funniest thing ever.
Josh sighs, looking between them helplessly—clearly used to this dynamic.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16YDItMPzK
Violet nudges Josh’s arm with an elbow.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHrKwhwFfd
VIOLET (smirking)
"Remember college? When I had to drag your sorry ass out of the laundry room 'cause someone glued your pants to the floor?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Qo4WLZ1x
JASON (cackling)
"Best prank of the semester. You were screaming like a kettle."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSiMvBElp
Josh mutters something about "trauma" and "therapy bills."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GcnVfhngW
VIOLET (mocking, to Jason)
"And you were always the bad influence. Top of the food chain."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7EGg1U75U
JASON (mock innocent)
"Hey, you were the one encouraging me! If I’m the poison, you're the damn delivery system."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTz8Knsty
They both exchange an evil, nostalgic look.
Josh just groans dramatically, as if he'd aged a century just standing there.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifz9UU9SYz
Meanwhile, A gently cradles Emily—a small, egg-shaped data pod with a soft pulsing blue glow—like she’s made of clouds.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd0VXpdsw7
A (whispering, awed)
"She’s adorable."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2t7xeEVUc
Violet softens a little, watching A hold the pod with such care.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNzXx6zuoi
VIOLET (grinning)
"Take good care of her, alright? She likes soft humming noises and hates loud banging."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwkp3mTIdT
Jason snorts.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQTTBBZLwE
JASON (deadpan)
"Perfect. We’re a rock band of chaos and murder. What could go wrong?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYasgsW2Z2
Josh gives a nervous chuckle, handing A a tiny manual titled "Emergency Data Pod Care" written in about 500 words of technobabble and legal threats.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCJEZGGOte
JOSH (half-joking)
"If she explodes, you’re buying us a new kid."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylKnr4jpL4
JASON (saluting lazily)
"Sir, yes sir."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8OXGP8fGn
VIOLET (turning to leave, calling over her shoulder)
"Don’t let him teach her sarcasm before she even has legs!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT6IdIsoV6
JASON (mock-offended)
"Hey, sarcasm is a life skill!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbENTo5Rmnf
The front door clicks shut after them.
Silence falls over the cube... broken only by the soft pulsing of the data pod.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT73MdZNGK
Jason turns slowly to face A and K, hands on hips.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tqor0G0Nw
JASON (grimacing)
"Well, congratulations. We’re officially in charge of a tiny semi-sentient bean."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6A2GT5u73
A cradles Emily proudly like he’s holding the future.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGBmHR9XDK
K scribbles a doodle of a baby pod wielding a giant axe on the wall behind them.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNhMpgGhvE
JASON (sighing)
"This... is gonna be a nightmare."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnz0ezmFLq
FADE OUT.
